From a pilot’s perspective I would like to say thank you to all the engineers and maintenance personnel around the world and for keeping the systems in top notch service for our safety and well being.

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

This guy is a true gem! We need more people like him

[@sbergman0894]

Just accepted a role as a systems engineer with Boeing. I’m a prior pilot as well. Looking forward to this new role!

[@shadydallah6442]

Congrats!!!

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Thats awesome... Best of luck.

[@sososoawesome1]

Im starting at bae next monday, how have you found it

[@goaheadskinit]

That's awesome congrats. How are you liking it? Trying to get into this myself.

[@alexisidro]

Very well detailed video. Thanks for the insight! Will definitely share with my engineering student audience

[@BobbyGeneric145]

The paintjob on that 650 is awesome

[@arnthorla]

Man that looks like a real true hardcore solid team there.

[@mohammadchavoshi5568]

This sounds absolutely breathtaking 😍

[@molinschado1987]

sir i love your work..thank you for this video

[@nickrameau938]

"Uuh, yeah, Steve, I might need you to hurry up implementing that popsicle holder on my yoke"

[@Daniel-gw6ss]

Helpful video! Thanks!

[@tassysoma8005]

Inspiring. The guy is my dream to be. Wow.

Thank you

[@Ricky-qb1bf]

nice video... however i would like to know how that avionics automation manages the safety integrity levels? or do they have such kind of fail safe action in terms of system malfunctions?. dual redundancies on the sensors in aircraft are critical, i guess so, TCAS can be bypassed in case of discrepancies indicator occurs from the pilot and first officer ones, for example..this is kind of fail safe,probably... i been working on dual fired power stations as control system engineer and managing "auto pilot" of the plant to automated functions for coal consumption, megawatts management, turbine controls and so on with SIL level and logic solver based on IEC61511. In case of system discrpancies, plant auto pilot can be overridden, and Operator takes fully control.

[@owenspalding971]

Avionics programs adhere to DO-178x and ARP-4754x in commercial aerospace in the US. The certification collaboration with the FAA will determine the assurance level and appropriate redundancies are implemented. The systems engineers are responsible for making sure the requirements are sufficient to meet these standards and that the systems has enough testing to prove that the systems actually meet the requirements.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

I do know that the fault handling code far surpasses the regular code in terms of amounts.

[@hmshector42]

What is his “avionics for everyone” certification and how can I get that?

[@firesoldier3051]

i was just wondering the same thing. did u find out?

Electrical engineering degree for this title I’m a systems engineer at Honeywell

[@marka.arcenas9507]

Does this require alot of math what kind of math is involved is the math challenging i struggle with math

[@alicjahertmanowska8099]

So what's the difference between an aerospace engineering and aerospace systems engineer?

[@felipemessias9602]

both have knowledge in aerospace field, but one project the component and other project the system (this is a overview)

[@engineeringvision9507]

In reality? The systems one will be concerned with electronic subsystems as well.

[@Diogo5245]

he is in another lvl, too far away from a regular brazilian like me

[@eiz3333]

Systems Engineering = Group of Engineers with an Euphemism

[@DOPEdwarf]

idiot

[@aerohk]

Sounds like system engineer role isn't very technical or need math. More like a project manager?

[@felipemessias9602]

It's an extremely technical field, you need to know how the components are connected, how they deliver the result, the requirements needed to supply and so on. I'll give an example of a vehicle company, and at least you need to know about vehicle electronics, cybersecurity, communication protocols, etc. So that in the end you can develop how the entire system will work and from then on there will be the departments of each area mentioned, going even deeper, creating in fact what was previously planned After everything is completed, you are still responsible for applying the product, if what was created actually meets the requirements made above, failure analysis and the testing process of the product created, validating or not the project and finally the final application

[@robinatorm8013]

Project Management is definitely part of it but project manager does not equal a project engineer. And it is quite technical. Usually it takes years of experience to get to that level.

[@HoangNguyen-jd2mr]

Very technical and heavy math
